God cannot be bought or bargained with and wants only one thing from us, sincere dependence upon his mercy and grace.

You need not fear the rich of this world, for the wealth of this life has no benefit in the life to come.

In the face of adversity, God invites his children to find comfort in who he is, what he has done in the past, and what he promises to do on the Last Day.

Our bonds in Christ are displayed in our suffering together.

Sacrificially loving and serving one another is one the most powerful things we can do before a watching world to testify to the grace of Jesus Christ.

The unpopularity of the gospel in this world should not cause us to shrink back in fear, but drive us to proclaim it all the more boldly, knowing that it is most needed when it is least popular.
